Samsung Galaxy S III LTE starts to see Android 4.3 Update

Samsung has been on a roll as of late getting updates to Android 4.3 to its various flagship devices. The original Galaxy S III devices around the globe and on various networks have been seeing their updates roll in slowly over the last few weeks, with some minor tweaks and updates hitting from various carriers. However the Samsung Galaxy S III LTE version was not part of those roll outs. Obviously due to the difference in the radios on the device. A report coming out from SamMobile is now pointing towards an update for the LTE variants. Starting off with the international versions of course.

In typical fashion the roll out will hit various regions at various times. Then there is the carrier version here in the states. Hopefully those of you sporting an LTE variant won’t have to wait too much longer for your official update. The Android 4.3 update brings in quite a bit of changes, but most notable is the inclusion of Samsung Galaxy Gear support, Samsung Knox, move-to-sd and much more.  Just take a read of some of the things to expect –
